Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common inquiries about email address validation checks

What is a SMTP handshake check?
A SMTP handshake verification simulates a connection to the target mail server. It initiates a mail transfer protocol command sequence up to the recipient validation command (RCPT TO) to confirm if the mailbox exists and accepts messages, and then gracefully disconnects without sending any mail.
How do you detect disposable emails?
We audit email domains against a frequently updated database of throwaway and temporary email provider domains (like mailinator, 10minutemail) to protect your databases from spam registration accounts.
What does Catch-All mean?
A Catch-All domain is configured to accept emails sent to any address prefix under that domain, even if the specific mailbox does not exist. While safe to send initially, catch-all addresses carry a higher risk of bounce-backs if later deactivated.
